Actor Orlando Jones says he was fired from American Gods Season 3 because his character is "wrong message for Black America"

Isn't he like the breakout character of the novel?
New showunner from Yale, it makes sense.
By the way Orlando Jones has framed his tweets, it sounds like the showrunner sacked him with the justification of him playing an "Angry Black Man" stereotype.
His role is little more than a cameo, so don't let that hold you back
Funny enough, I was just thinking the other day what ever happened to Orlando Jones? Used to be a big fan of him from the Mad TV days and he kind of vanished a bit after an early-00s push.
Regardless, this sounds like dumbfuck meddling

I wouldn't. I actually liked him in Employee of the Month, not so much Mr. Brooks.
If my wife wasn't a huge Outlander fangirl I would cancel Starz. I won't be watching American Gods going forward.
Some fans stuck with it swearing the problems were just bullshit stuff like "Fuller being Fuller"
Obviously this fucked up shit going viral is gonna wake them up quick that it (of course) wasn't
Smh, Orlando was the best part of the show and truthfully it ain't worth watching without him.
I couldn't make it through season one, but he was the only reason I watched as much as I did. That and that soul stealing God...my my my lol

This is extremely disappointing. He was the best character hands down. His introductory speech on the slave ship should be shown in every American history class.
Pablo is also gone?
Damn I made the right choice subconsciously when I stopped watching in the middle of season 2
2/3 of my favorite actors gone now with Pablo and Jones
I haven't seen the second season(watched the first on like an epic free trial or whatever it was), but the slave boat scene with Mr. Nancy is definitely one of the most memorable scenes of the show.
Yeah his character was killed of. They're bringing in Iwan Rheon (Misfits, Game of Thrones,
I've watched season 1 and gave up on season 2 after the changes, but god damn this guy still keeps spitting fire.
Is the sequel people are talking about Anansi Boys? I've read that ages ago for some reason I can't remember.
Not even and it's all over the map with a lot of changes I don't care for. The show lacks a lot of the soul and 'slice of life' storytelling that the book has. After season 2, I'm out.
this. I stuck with it even after Anderson left based solely on Jones' performance. I'm done, now.
Lmao every photo of the showrunner he's either dressed in a fitted or looks like a struggling jazz artist. Yet this type of Black stuff has him shook. Gtfo.
here are his neckbeard and giant toe bona fides.
edit: I thought it was Michael Green, not Charles 'Chic' Eglee.

This is the showrunner:
Liberal white douche says what's up.
Mr Nancy was always a bit too real for some peeps, firing him for doing his job well is a bitch move for sure.
It's a fucking Starz show and the show runner was scared of making white people upset in the third season? lol white people.
I am incredibly disappointed in this. This only proved that we need our own story so we can control our own narrative and not what someone else allows... Mr. Nancy was brilliant in every way. And this form of racism should die in Hollywood. Such an iconic scene.
I watched it and threw a trash can through a pizza place window
God this scene is good. It's so good. Orlando gave the best performance of his career in that scene.
I love how tv is just entertainment, except when it comes to niggas. I forgot the riots sparked by Mr Nancy that were a scourge to this country.
This show is trash without this guy. Done with it.
